Veering from high seas adventure to a future academic treatise on the peculiar swimming habits of our industrial age, from the conclusion of Violet Bertelsen's stellar novella, The Ghosts in Little Deer's Grove, to the triumphs and challenges of a low-energy future lived down on the farm and out on the hunting grounds, this newest issue of Into the Ruins continues to present fascinating visions of our deindustrial future. Meanwhile, an intriguing argument from Karl North about the potential for a new Gothic Age in a deindustrialized United States rounds out this issue, providing plenty of fodder for thought about what our future holds.
